Principle

 Crude oil, still one of the most important raw materials in the world, is a mixture of many hydrocarbons. Because the crude oil is a mixture of substances with different boiling temperatures, individual substances with different boiling ranges can be separated by distillation in fractions. In this experiment a model of crude oil is distilled.

 

Learning objectives 

  • Distillative separation of a liquid mixture

  • How a fractional distillation works

  • Destillation of cruide oil
  • Composition of cruide oil (this experiment examines a model of crude oil)

 

Benefits

  • The glass equipment makes it easy for observers to recognise and understand the experiment set-up.
